dk.carpenter This was my first visit to Canada, so it could be that all the hostels there are this good - but this was a truly excellent hostel. The whole place has recently been refurbished, and the standard of cleanliness was high. I stayed in a 16 bed mixed dorm, and this came with ensuite shower room, seperate ensuite bathroom (shower, toilet, sink), 2 large wall-mounted flatscreen TVs, free wireless internet and 2 power points by each bed. Towels are provided for the showers, and breakfast is included - this consists of toast, waffles, boiled eggs, muffins, orange-juice, tea, and coffee in a buffet-style arrangement. The kitchen comes with two large ovens and a large fridge-freezer, microwave and toasters, along with basic pots/pans/cutlery etc. Lockers are available for valuables, padlocks for these can be obtained for a $10 deposit. The reception area also has a small bottle-bar, with some very good beers available, and a small seating area. The staff were universally friendly and helpful, and had a ready supply of maps and leaflets for those looking for something to do in the city. Access is via an electronic keycard, and the reception area is manned 24hrs, so no problems coming and going late at night. Latest checkout on the day of departure is 11am. Finally, the price was remarkably low - very good value for money indeed. I highly reccommend this hostel.

nori0402 By far the best hostel ever in my experience. The owner family is very kind and friendly, and the facility has nice European taste, both of which I really loved. Right in the heart of the old town Montreal, a pleasant stay is assured at this place.

dominicdep The people at the hostel were very nice and the rooms and facilities were very clean... overall more than you could expect for the price. I readily recommend this to anyone who is looking to stay in Montréal. The atmosphere is very relaxed and since it is privately owned and run it does not at all radiate the "charme" of other, bigger hostels. If I would run a hostel, this is what I would want it to be like.
